Good evening ladies, gentlemen, and everything in between, and welcome --- to a Mafia thread!

 

For those of you not familiar, Mafia is a party game that can be played in person, on forums, in chat rooms, or any combination thereof! It's a game of murder and mystery, suspicion and betrayal, wherein a group of players come together and attempt to discover the identity of a dastardly murderer hiding within their midst.

Mafia games are divided into two phases - a 'day phase', in which players come together to discuss the events of the game, and decide which among their number they suspect of being the murderer, before coming together and voting for who they find the most suspicious - with the most-voted player being removed from the game.

The other phase is the 'night phase', in which the murderer or murderers pick out a poor unsuspecting player, and murders them - thus removing them from the game.

The game ends when the number of innocent players is equal to or less than the number of murderers, or when the murderer himself has been voted out of the game.

So, that's a basic idea as to how the game works, and here are a few specific rules:

• At the start of the game, I will send the murderer a PM informing him or her of their role. If there are any non-murderers with special abilities, they will also receive a PM.
  
• These special roles will be granted based on the results of a random number generator.
  
• Players are not allowed to PM each other with regards to the game.
  
• Players who have been removed from the game may make a final post in the thread, but are otherwise asked to not participate in game discussion beyond that - this means that if you accidentally kill off your best detective, you're going to be missing out on their assistance moving forward. I'll make a group PM for all deceased players to discuss the game.
  
• I will announce the start and end of all game phases, the results of all night actions, etc.
  
• Day phases will end after 48 hours, or immediately after a majority vote is reached. Vote with caution.
  
• If no majority vote has been reached by the end of a 48 hour day phase, the person with the most votes is removed from the game.
  
• To ensure that your votes are counted during day phases, state the name of the person you are voting for in bold.
  
• Players with special roles may not share or quote any part of their role PM in the game thread.
  

If you're interested in joining the game, please post here indicating as such, and I'll add you to this post.

@Kirry @Sekkarou @Scrooge Peacock @zin @Nectar @Wedgy @John jobs @Anyoneelsethatwantstodothething

Cool. It's shame you can't participate, there were times when you were the life and soul of AFM1

True, though having never ran a game myself I'm quite interested in having that experience as well

Besides, this way people can get a little bit of experience in the game without me steamrolling over everything with my goofy massive posts.

Starting over, gah. I guess that's the only option. It's not like one of us can take over, for obvious reasons.

Yeah, unfortunately continuing a game without the original GM is a little tricky, since he's necessary for managing night actions and calling an end to voting phases / etc.

New thread? "AF Mafia II" perhaps?

I'll work on a thing, and see if anyone else decides to bite.

@Kirry , @Sekkarou , @Scrooge , @zin , @Nectar , @Wedgy , @Kohloo , @John jobs

So uhhh...

Stuff happened and Orius has apparently left the forum. Obviously that leaves the current mafia game in a state of limbo.

I'd be happy to host a new game with a couple modified rules though, if people are interested in continuing.

The tweaks I'd have in mind would basically take things closer to more of a 'classic' style mafia game, which would be...

• Less GM interference.
  
• One or more (depending on player count) 'enhanced' innocents that have their own, defensive night actions.
  
• Minor rule tweaks - no PMs, for example.
  

Just something to ponder, since this game didn't really get very far.

Thats fine, im just wanting to know if theres any way i can help my home

As with any forum, I think the best way to help this place is simply to be active, make threads, comment in threads, and be a pleasant presence. Bask in the good vibes from other members while contributing your own good vibes until a good vibes feedback loop is created and we all drown in positivity.

Is this still open?

As far as I'm aware, all of the current anime team members have become fairly inactive... with that said however, I'm not personally aware that there has been a push to cycle them out for more active members, or if the concept itself might be up for retirement.

discord

Heyas, I could be mistaken, but I don't believe the anime team concept had any bearing on the Discord server, if I'm not mistaken - as the opening post indicated, it was specifically meant to benefit the anime board here.

Hopefully there are more contests, i would love to participate in stuff like this

That is definitely the plan.

Hello! Welcome to AF! I love your intro thread, and would normally strive to make a long, substantial, and meaningful response --- but I woke up about three hours earlier than intended, so I'm a tiny bit dead on the inside, I'm afraid! So I'm afraid we'll have to make due with something a little more modest. You have my apologies!

That last one was definitely one of the highlights of this year so far.

I can definitely agree with that - Kobayashi's Dragon Maid managed to inch its way into my all-time favorites, I think.

Well, to help move things along, I'll just Vote @Sekkarou

I'll confess that my effort output has dropped substantially as hints and clues of a particularly meta nature have pointed at me over and over in a way that I've never really had to deal with in other mafia games, thus the lackadaisical nature of my recent posts. With that said, however, Sekkarou's status on the forum when you click his name has said Engaged in Conversation during and around some very interesting periods of time with relation to this game, in particular as the first day wrapped. Right when the killer would be naming his victim in his PM with Orius.

Obviously that's not very concrete and is totally unable to be evidenced, and is certainly less tantalizing than things posted by the GM - enough so that I wasn't going to mention it, but since I'm here, doing a vote thingy, I may as well toss it out before I'm tossed in the acid bin.

Honestly I wish there was a "choose your own adventure" anime - similar to a TellTale Games series. I suppose that would be nearly impossible to do but it would be so cool to have different chapters depending on what you want the main character to do and each person watching could have a bit more of a customized experience.

Not really impossible, imo - you can get some super impressive looking anime style graphics with good cel shading and such, so there's no reason this couldn't be a thing. It should be a thing!

My absolute favourite, for the sake of nostalgia and not necessarily the best, is Sonic the Hedgehog 2's soundtrack.

Love the old school Sonic music. Has a lot of really nice arrangements available, too.

I'm actually hoping to be the proud owner of a Fairline within the next few years. @zoop's dad (thus my dad) has one in reasonably good condition. He's hoping to work on it and bring it up to spec. If he does, then I want to try to buy it from him with a decent offer.

'67, I think. It was our only car when I was super young - I never appreciated it back then because it had no air conditioning, and we didn't have the money to keep it in pristine condition, but now I look at it at my parent's place and I'm like... "yesss, come back to me"

Also... how the hell did I not notice those posts in here?? o_o

Oh my God, that thing is beautiful! <3<3<3<3<3<3

A completely different experience to beans on toast. I call it baked bean lasagne. Aren't I original.Question is, would you eat it?

o_______________o

Well, I mean. I like toast. And cheese. And baked beans.

So... why not?

How about some delightful and spicy chicken Pad Kee Mao? <3 <3

all done! if you have trouble finding any i could join as well~ ive never played tho so id have to go over the rules

Oh definitely, that's be lovely! It's a fairy easy game to pick up!

I'm a fan of Dominion, myself, it's a strategy card game thingy. There's a free web client for it, which while not perfect, is still quite functional.

7/10. I like the transparency effect.

10/10. Chibi-Okabe really captures the character's overall feel - while at the same time feeling like a great fit for you.

yes! i actually saw it in the theater because a local one managed to get a hold of it for two screenings

i thought it was really gorgeous and liked it overall, but i think like most people i didnt love the ending.

I was also lucky enough to see it in a local theater - it was a bloody wonderful experience!

Were there any cosplayers in your screening? We had several over here.

I have a horrible, horrible weakness for these things. They're too damn good. :'(

Though, in general, I'm more of a cheesecake girl.

Kinda hungry, but mostly exhausted. Currently in the middle of writing my Toy Story 3 analysis after having rewatched the film. These long analysis are taking a toll on me. I love writing about these movies, but damn, it can get real exhausting. So I think I might shorten my analysis to maybe one movie per week.

No need to treat it like a job! Take whatever pace allows you to most enjoy what you're doing - that's really the important thing here, at the end of the day. Quality over quantity, and all that good stuff.

Steam sale.

Purchased the Clannad bundle, Mini Ghost, Murasaki, Devil Daggers, and Divinity: Original Sin. Yes, I'm fond of goofy indie stuff. And thus concludes my game purchases for this quarter.
